Tone Controls
The P-2000 allows you to adjust the amount of bass and treble that you hear
from the Left, Center and Right speakers. The Tone Control circuits incor-
porated in the unit are subtle in their action and designed to have minimal
effect on the midrange frequencies. The Tone Controls are global in their
functions and any setting that you make will effect all sources until you reset
the Tone Controls back to their “flat” position.
The Tone Controls can be set from the Input Configuration menu (see
page 23, steps 8-11) or by using the remote control as shown below.

Night Mode
Night Mode is a Dolby Digital feature that compensates for difficult listening
situations by compressing the dynamic range (the difference between loud
and soft passages) of what you’re listening to. An example would be when
you are watching a movie with a soundtrack that contains very loud passages
and you don’t want to disturb others in the house. Yet you don’t want to miss
any of the quiet passages as well.
Information on the various compression options can be found on page 23-24.
Night Mode compensation is only available when the surround mode of the
selected input source is set to Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital EX.

Channel Trim
Channel Trim allows you to fine tune the channel levels to compensate for
various soundtrack anomalies. For example, you may play a movie and
find that the center (dialogue) channel is weak, making the movie hard
to follow. Simply trimming the Center channel up a dB or two can fix the
problem. Or another film may have substantially more bass than normal
and trimming the Subwoofer channel down a dB or two may help balance
the sound correctly.
This function can be accessed in two ways. You can press the TRIM button on
the front panel or the remote control, or you can access this feature through
the Main Menu. The Channel Trim menu is shown below.
